MAGA commentators are stepping up as soldiers in Trump’s culture war to provoke confrontations against “Antifa” with the backing of DHS.
TWO WEEKS AGO, THE X ACCOUNT for the Department of Homeland Security was being, all things considered, relatively normal.
There was a repost of a video about law enforcement at the Charlie Kirk memorial, a video on how the Secret Service had dismantled a digital network that could have carried out attacks near the United Nations General Assembly, a video of part of Trump’s tone-deaf, chest-beating speech at the U.N., and posts and news updates on the Dallas ICE field office shooting that left two immigrant detainees dead. The account did not shy away from making overtly partisan arguments—they claimed rhetoric from Democrats demonizing ICE agents had contributed to the shooting—but even in this, it was operating within expected parameters.
Then things took a turn.
Over the past week and a half, @DHSgov has amped up the rate, intensity, and belligerence of its content, posting or reposting nearly two dozen highly produced videos in that time. There were videos about the administration’s plans to forcefully impose order on Chicago, then Portland, by putting down violent protests by anarchists. There was also an attention-grabbing propaganda campaign, produced in coordination with MAGA commentators, meant to ensure the administration’s narrative about immigration reached even larger audiences.
The full canon of footage has made evident one of the defining features of the president’s deportation campaign: He wants it publicized far and wide, literally shouted from rooftops, and in ominous tones. It’s not enough to round up and detain those here illegally, video of it must be shot, edited, dramatized, and disseminated. ICE isn’t just doing immigration enforcement, it is now firmly in the content creation business.

Commies hate it when you fight back.
As opposed to the PantieFascists who are getting paid with our tax dollars.
This is what I voted for
This is what I voted for
He is trying to make it seem like a bad thing...
We voted for it and we are all for it.
The Bulwark? Never heard of it, but by reading the displayed portion I can conclude that it’s run by a bunch of commie bastards. No need to click.
I like knowing what the enemy is up to.
“to provoke confrontations against “Antifa”
This is why no one trusts the News anymore, the bias is so blatant it is insulting.
I think the basic problem is the existence of News conglomerates, owning hundreds of newspapers and radio stations, then all go in lockstep publishing the bias of the owners.
This will continue until the News organizations are broken up by anti-monopoly rulings. Only then we could have hundreds of independent voices instead of a global single voice.
Of course, amongst the hundreds of independent voices you’ll still have your share of nutcases but that is the way it is supposed to be.
Looks like a great piece of Communist Propaganda.
John Reed would approve.
This article does not dispute the central fact of why Trump is sending troops to Blue Cities - that ICE officers are under assault by Antifa and other Leftist groups and the Dem city and state officials are refusing to help them and enforce order. The article is solely focused on the ICE media campaign. You could write the same article about anything - US World War II films and newsreels included propaganda against Germany. Wasn’t that horrible???
Ah, yes, “The Bulwark” - ultraleftists who claim they are disaffected “Reagan Republicans” - but hold zero views from any faction of the Republican Party, past or present, and want the Democrats to win literally every single race on the ballot.
So when they call themselves "bulwark" they've grievously misspelled the word for male bovine excrement.
Well...judge for yourself.

Typical for “The Bulwark.”
>> I can conclude that it’s run by a bunch of commie bastards.
More like “A bunch that hates Trump SO BADLY that they can’t see straight.”
Some are commies, no doubt. But one of ‘em is Bill Kristol, at one time considered THE Conservative’s Conservative! That was before poor William came down with Stage 4 TDS.
>> Typical for “The Bulwark.”
Can’t have “Bulwark” without the Bull!
If Anti-First Amendment is not there attacking ICE there will be no confrontations.
So all your Black Shirt Anti-First Amendment thugs have to do to thwart this dastardly plan is.... stay home in their mommy's basement and watch more sick porn.
It is genius.
later
The Bulwark is evil, but I’d rather focus on less drama and actual mass deportations.
